Madonna: I feared for my kids’ lives

Madonna feared for her children’s lives after a knife-carrying stalker smashed into her home

The mum-of-four said yesterday she had been “alarmed” by deranged Grzegorz Matlok’s obsession with her.

The schizophrenic, who travelled from his native Poland carrying a map with an “M” scrawled over the singer’s home, was sectioned indefinitely yesterday after a judge branded him a “serious risk”.

Matlock broke into an office at Madge’s £10million home in March after climbing a rope to reach a balcony. And in chilling echoes of Whitney Houston stalker movie The Bodyguard, he was caught rifling through her bedsheets in the central London pad.

Matlok, 30, told doctors the star had sent him “special messages”.

Nine months earlier he had been sent back to Poland for treatment after forcing his way into the Wiltshire estate Madonna used to share with ex-husband Guy Ritchie, 43.

The singer, 53, said in a statement to Southwark Crown Court that Matlok had left her plagued by fears for the safety of children Lourdes, 15, Rocco, 10, David, five, and Mercy, four.

The star said: “It is extremely unsettling to know that despite the extensive security I have he has been able to break into two of my residential properties.

“I’m worried about my children’s safety as well as the safety of my staff. I’m also naturally worried about my own safety.”

She added: “I feel very alarmed and distressed.”

Reliving the stalker nightmare heaps more misery on Madonna, who was booed at the London premiere of her slated royal movie W.E. on Sunday.

And homeless brother Anthony Ciccone, 55, slammed her for “turning her back” on him and leaving him to live on the streets of Michigan.

Judge Deborah Taylor told Matlok, who had earlier admitted burglary: “It is the view of the doctors that you pose a risk of serious harm to Ms Ciccone and your behaviour if you were to meet her would be unpredictable.”
